Micrsoft patch released for the 100% CPU utilisation by svchost problem during software update checks.

If you are one of the millions of customers that have experienced the problem of high cpu use by svchost when the system checks for updates, then relief is at hand.  The most common symptom is extremely poor performance after initial boot and a check of processes in Task Manager shows "svchost.exe" using 100% cpu.

Microsoft have released a hotfix (KB927891) to correct the issue, so if you have the issue, the hotfix is available here.
